Bridge freezing in Photoshop CS2

I have Photoshop CS2 and unable to use Bridge, which has started freezing and loading very slowly. I reinstalled from disc but the problem remains. Any suggestions ?

Should get this:
RESETTING BRIDGE'S PREFERENCES
Want all the options in Bridge set back to the factory defaults? Then close Bridge, hold down Command-Option-Shift (PC: Control-Alt-Shift), and then launch Bridge again. A dialog will appear asking what you want to do. Turn on the Reset Preferences checkbox and click OK. Now when Bridge appears, the preferences are factory-fresh.

  • Networking with Photoshop CS2

    I recently acquired a second Mac G5 so that two people could edit raw files at the same time. I have the two Mac G5s networked together via a gigabit ethernet network. I have registered copies of Photoshop CS 2 and Bridge installed on both machines. One is my main computer and is faster and has all of my image files on its internal hard drives. I want to have an assistant use the Bridge on the second computer to view and edit raw files on the main computer.
    I can get Bridge to view and rank and adjust raw files, but when I open a file in Photoshop and try to save it over the network I get an OS X message that says the file is locked. It's odd to get a file locked message for a file I am saving for the first time. At first I thought this was an OS X disk permissions issue, but in the Finder I am able to copy and delete files without any problems.
    Researching the issue further, I discovered that for Macintosh Photoshop CS2 Adobe does not recommend opening and saving files over a network. Instead, they recommend copying the files from computer A to computer B so that all saves are to local drives. They recommend the use of Version Cue, but I understand that Version Cue does not work well with OS 10.4.

    I find this inability to have a second computer open and save over a network to be a real hindrance in having a central organized file structure for all current jobs.
    Other than copying from one computer to another and copying back, does anyone have a real world alternative?

    I can see the advantages of Bridge. And Photoshop CS2 is great.
    Since these are both Adobe products, and they're causing trouble, AND you paid good money for them...I'd toss it back at Adobe and see if they offer support for their Fine Products.
    It sounds that Bridge is somehow locking the network directory that you're trying to save your picture into. Copy/Deleting files via Finder is going to be somehow different than two Adobe products fighting for dominance and version tracking.
    (this last paragraph is a rambling brainstorm...YOU use the software and have the manuals :\

  • PhotoShop CS2 Bridge caused strange loss of desktop visibility/memory ??

    I have a G5 (Duel) running Tiger 10.4.6. Just lately the Bridge in Photoshop CS2 has not been working too well - it became very slow and sometimes didn't "see" my images. Yesterday I could get it to find my image folders at all. Then all my desktop started to look weird - even when I wasn't using the Bridge. So I closed all the applications and restarted the computer. To my horror all my desktop and preferences (dock, safari, desktop picture, folders etc.) had been lost. At first I thought I had somehow lost all my image folders but using spotlight I found them all there - distribted in places I had never put them. I sorted everything out again and re-did all my customised stuff but it was scary! At no time did the computer give me any warning of any trouble. It did not crash or anything. I was running QuarkXpress 5 (classic 9) as well and had a Skype window open (although I wasn't using it to talk at the time) Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happened - has it happened to anyone else ? Thanks for any help.. Diana

    Hi jamba,
    I think the issue is that your output of lspci shows no Audio device. Perhaps it got disabled in the BIOS? dmesg output may indicate something else afoot with your audio hardware.
    Hope that helps.
    I'll check out dmesg output.  also still need to check if something got disabled in the BIOS.
    !snd_intel8x0m  <- is your problem. Your sound module got blacklisted so un-list it. Modprobe it then try sound again or just reboot and it should work.
    moonswan.  snd_intel8x0 is the sound card (I think), in the alsa wiki it said it was recommended to blacklist snd_intel8x0m as a quirk fix. 
    No sound with or without it blacklisted still :-(
    thanks

  • Can not open Adobe Bridge in Photoshop CS2

    Adobe Bride is supposed to be included with Photoshop CS2, but there are no links to it when in Photoshop.  File>Browse does not go to Bridge.   I downloaded a new copy of Bridge from Adobe and installed it.  There is still no link to Bridge in Photoshop, but there is a Bridge icon in the start menu.  However, double clicking the icon gives the error "The program cannot start because the file libagluc28.dll is missing from your computer".    However, a search for that file finds it in three locations: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help Center, C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2, and C:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat.  Any ideas as to how to start AdBridge?

    Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.  
    Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.

  • Update Photoshop CS2 (Adobe Bridge, AdobeStockPhotos)

    Ich habe das angebotene Update für Photoshop CS2 durchgeführt. Angeboten war wurde dieses für Adobe Bridge und AdobeStockPhotos. Am Ende des Updates wurde zum Neustart des Computers aufgefordert um den Akutalisierungsvorgang abzuschließen.
    Gesagt, getan.
    Nach Neustart, direkt wieder die Aufforderung einen Neustart durchzuführen. Dies jetzt nach jedem Start des PC's.
    Wie komme ich über diese Hürde hinweg?
    Gruß
    Jürgen Schwarzer

    Hey Jim,
    unter dem Menü Bearbeiten, findet sich bei mir nur der Punkt "Voreinstellungen".
    Bei den Unterpunkten wie "Allgemeine", "Dateien verarbeiten", etc. kann ich leider keinen Punkt finden, bei dem ich Update-Optionen beeinflussen könnte - aber vielleicht habe ich auch nur Tomaten auf den Augen.
    Könntest du mir genauer beschreiben, wo ich diesen Punkt eventuell finde.
    Unter dem Menü "Hilfe" findet sich ein Punkt der "Updates ..." genannt wird. Aktiviere ich diesen, kommt auch nur wieder die Meldung, dass ein Neustart erforderliche sei, bevor der Aktualisierungsvorgang fortgesetzt werden kann. Dies habe ich ja, wie bereits beschrieben, mehrfach getan u. trotzdem erscheint diese Meldung immer wieder, auch nach einem Neustart.
    Trotzdem vielen Dank, vielleicht siehst du noch eine andere Möglichkeit.
    Gruß Jürgen

  • Photoshop CS2 cursor freezes

    Since I updated to OSX10.4.3, some brushes in Photoshop CS2 cause an application freeze, with the rainbow beachball and "Application not responding" in the dock. The brush cursor still moves and becomes the cursor for everything else running, including the Finder. Adobe's forum shows others with this problem but it has happened for me only since 10.4.3 update. It seems to occur with Scatter brushes more often and happens with either the mouse or a Wacom tablet. I am saving more often since I lost 1+ hour's work when the cursor went AWOL. Photoshop has always been nearly bulletproof until now. I never had brush cursor problems before 10.4.3.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Even if not in use, is the Wacom tablet still connected during these cursor acts? What if the tablet is removed?

    How/where do I change the default for File>Open With>Photoshop?  i haven't had Photoshop CS2 installed since the first CC 2014 version, and it was working fine until this last update last month.

  • Photoshop CS2 freezing and "Not Responding"

    I've had Photoshop CS2 running on the same computer and OS (Vista) since around the time it came out, and it's always worked fine for me.
    A week or so ago Photoshop began to freeze continuously, and when it freezes I click on it and it goes into its "Not Responding" phase where the screen whites out. Sometimes it prompts me to close the program. I usually wait until it unfreezes (around 30 seconds) but if I open another window to pass the time, I can't click directly back into Photoshop, I have to minimize the other windows I was using to get to it, and it will not respond the first few seconds when I open the window or the program itself. Sometimes I can get a minute or so of work done, but that's usually it.
    I've tried uninstalling the program then reinstalling many times, deleting the preference files with Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc. I have plenty of memory left on my computer. It's only photoshop that does this, ImageReady works fine.
    Is there anything else I can try to fix it?

    Please allow me to suggest a way to help determine if you have hardware problems...
    Try this:
    1.  Click your Start button and type Event Viewer in the search box.  When Event Viewer comes up, click it.
    2.  Look in the Windows System log (or Administrative Events) for errors.  If you are seeing, for example, recoverable disk errors, they will be logged.
    3.  Are you seeing any actual crashes of Photoshop?  If so, look in the Application log for more information on these events, especially for the "Faulting Module" information.
    Also:
    A.  Have you changed / installed any 3rd party software / plug-ins since it worked well?
    B.  Has your maximum RAM allocation for Photoshop changed?  What value have you set in Edit - Preferences - Performance, and what is your total RAM in your system?

  • Camera Raw Photoshop CS2 & Bridge Parsing Problem

    I am having an issue with Photoshop CS2. I am trying to work on a .tiff file that I have used the HDR automate tool from. The HDR renders files in 32-bit and therefor I render back to 16-bit once I have compressed the files and save as a .tiff file.
    I then use bridge to try and open the .tiff file and the camera raw file is shaded grey. I also have tried opening in PS CS2 and this message comes up when I try and force Camera Raw to Open..."Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    PS will open the tiff file on a compressed version and not in the Camera Raw Function.
    I have read numerous posts on this kind of problem and people say to update your camera raw plu-in and I have done that and am having the same problem.
    Any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.

    Hi Patrick,
    You need CR 4.x and Ps CS3 in order to open non-camera raw TIFFs.

  • Incomplete Photoshop window and Bridge freeze-up

    I have just purchased a new imac: 2.66 i5, 4gb memory, ati radeon 4850 card, running the latest Leopard. (the base model 27``)  Just installed CS4 and have not had any success using it. Bridge freezes up immediately when opened and I have to force quit. Photoshop opens and I can work on images, however the only thing that seems to open are the tool bars. I have yet to see if I can save an image or do any serious work on it.  The central window where image view is retains whatever is on the screen from previous viewing with the working image overlayed, or just the desktop if no programs are running. I have done both the standard full install and a custom install, and I encounter the same issues. I have tried the script cleanup some have suggested, run every update I can find and nothing works.
    I do keep all my images on a maxtor external hardrive I used w/ my PC. I thought there was a hardware conflict so I pulled some images to a folder on the mac, but still bridge freezes before I can open a single image.
    My computer is only 2 weeks old and I have installed no other programs and this is my first mac.

  • Long standing bug in Photoshop CS2 Bridge

    I have been using Photoshop CS2 for many years and have constantly "lived with" a bug in Bridge whereby, instead of an image thumbnail, there is just an icon shown. This is the same icon that appears before Bridge has read all the images to produce the thumbnails - but some of them get "stuck" and there seems to be no way to make Bridge "read" the image and produce the thumbnail. Pressing "View" "Refresh" (or PF5) does not work. Is there any fix I can download for this, please?

    Curt touched on a possible concept:  Abandon Bridge and get a codec pack for Windows Explorer.  Then just use Explorer to integrate your work.  This, of course, assumes you're using Windows.
    It's possible a newer version of Photoshop might come with a Bridge implementation that doesn't fail in the same way.  It's pretty much futile to hope for a change to Photoshop CS2 in this day and age.
    Did Bridge CS2 have the functions the modern version has for requesting a clearing of the Bridge cache?  If not, perhaps those functions were added to address the kinds of problems you're having.

  • IPhoto VS Photoshop CS2 "Bridge"

    Hello,
    Anyone here in the forum use Photoshop CS2 Bridge?
    I'm thinking about switching over from iPhoto to Bridge and was wondering if anyone had any advice about the the two apps?
    Thanks

    Pro app vs. consumer App. Learning curve for Bridge, assuming you want to learn all its features, will be higher. You need to manager your own files in Bridge, a pro and a con. I'm not sure Bridge has any concept like albums.
    Bridge will work directly with EXIF and IPTC data, which is nice.

  • Photoshop CS2 Could not complete request because of program error

    My Photoshop CS2 stopped opening JPEG files from the Bridge. First it freezes and then say Not Responding. After that it brings Could no complete request because of program error. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling with no joy. I have also found out that i cannot open a file even directly from photoshop itself. I have not done any work for the past three days. Please help

    I know this is probably a little late for your issue, but for anyone else having trouble with this...
    I had this exact same problem, and my photo had also been previously worked on and saved as a jpg in CS4.
    I saved it as a psd and then opened it back up in CS4, where it saved as a jpg with no problems.
    So, it seems to be a problem with the different versions of photoshop. If you have access to CS4, that could solve your problem. Otherwise, have anyone sending you files from later versions save down to your version, and that might help.
